Discover the authentic flavors of Turkey with our family-run Home Cooking School. Our traditional stone arch house, located in a charming village in Cappadocia, has been lovingly restored to create a warm and welcoming environment where you can experience Turkish hospitality and tradition. We only use natural and organic fruits, vegetables, and spices farmed in our garden, ensuring that every dish is bursting with fresh, delicious flavor. You will learn how to prepare regional home-cooking dishes with your own hands, guided by our experienced and friendly instructors. During the class, you will be introduced to our organic garden, and you will pick fresh vegetables and herbs to use in your cooking. Afterward, you will prepare and cook your soup, entrée, main meal, and dessert, all while enjoying a cup of traditional Turkish tea. As you cook, you will learn about our village, its traditions, and its unique way of life. You will be amazed at how much you can accomplish in just three hours, and at the end of the class, you will enjoy a delicious meal of your creation.

Best Hospitality

At the family-run restaurant, I was taught traditional Turkish food. I really liked the atmosphere of coming to a friend's house at home. For cooking, I would just chop the vegetables and show them the other processes. After the meal, we had a fancy lunch with lots of appetizers to fill up!

Super Streamlined, Highly Recommended!

Great experience, well worth it. They will take you from your hotel, organize everything and take care of any requests you have. It was enjoyable and lovely to meet the family, learn in the cooking class, and then enjoy the dinner. Highly recommend it!
